Working from home

I’m curious… do you work from home instead of going into an office building? I was thinking about this when looking at today’s photo of a cool office building… I wonder if a cool office building even helps. If you like your job, then you don’t really mind what the building looks like, I think.

Daily Photo – Inside the Infinity

This is the inside of an interesting office building in the CBD (the boringly named Central Business District) of Beijing. Tom and I wontonly walked inside here and started taking photos. The security approached us and there was a lot of confusion. Then the manager showed up and everything went a bit pear-shaped. But at least I got this photo… I find it so strange… the design of these buildings… they are wonderfully inhuman, but kind of beautiful.

Trey,

My fiance is an interior designer and designs high end, corporate interiors for a living. There are lots of studies regarding how certain layouts impact productivity, collaboration, etc. What I find most interesting though, is that the executives maintain that it helps to have a beautiful, functional, and unique office space in recruiting top talent. Makes sense to me – you can really learn a lot about how a company values its employees by the setup of the office.

Looks like some sort of awesome tron – inspired architecture, well captured as always! I’ve been a work from home person for about 3 years now. . Though I think having the right work environment is pretty crucial even if it’s just a work – specific area of the home!
